Yet another SDCard failure

#1 Post by zearch »

Hi
Is there a way to workaround this ? Currently photorec is running against /dev/sda.
sudo cat photorec.se2 returns nothing eventhough it is roughly 41 KB.

Code: Select all

If the reported memory card size is correct, you can try to clone it using ddrescue as explained in https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf
Once it's done, remove the original SD card and run photorec on the clone.
If the disk capacity is wrong or if all read operations failed, you will have to contact a data recovery company if you really want to recover its content.

Thank you Christophe.
The card size is reported OK, but at the moment after 24h + running photorec there is no file recovered (I selected only jpg) and remainind time is roughly 1156h for a 32GB card. I guess there is a timeout for each read attempt, isn't it?
Definitively dead and not worth spending high money for pictures that should have been backup according to usual advice.

Many thanks for your great piece of soft.
